I was ordering some MC3008 's and RS think drill bits are frequently ordered with
them, Weird.

anyone else noticed any strange bought together items.

That will probably be because an inventory code of one of those
items is similar or identical to the inventory code of an item
which it would actually have matched,

Inventory codes may or not be assigned sequentially as new items
are added to the stock

The customer buys on the description or product code, not
the inventory code so any discrepancy should show up prior to
the sale or despatch,

The "likes" will be determined solely by the inventory codes of
pairs of items bought previously, not by the product descriptions
or codes as the latter are determined by manufacturers and may come
in different formats. Whereas RS can use whatever format they like
for their inventory code for their internal operations which among
other things makes generating likes easier.
